Should you have a:

Fixes: a8db8cf0d894 ("irq_domain: Replace irq_alloc_host() with 
revmap-specific initializers")

If not, it means your change is in contradiction with commit 
b1725c9319aa ("[POWERPC] arch/powerpc/sysdev: Add missing of_node_put")

I guess it would be better as follows:

+++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx/pic.c
@@ -153,9 +153,7 @@ int mpc8xx_pic_init(void)

 out:
